Pensions will rise in the summer of 2024: There will be so much more money for retirees. But there is bad news for new retirees: pension levels are showing a slight downward trend.

The forecast for the coming year is therefore below the level of the increase from which around 21 million pensioners benefited on July 1st of this year. People with low wages and insecure work, particularly in the East in the 1990s, would increasingly retire and reduce pension levels, according to a parliamentary group leader of the Left.
